Job Description

This methodology is operationalised through a curated suite of tests applied to tabular and geospatial data, enabling customers to identify, assess, and manage sustainability risks with confidence. In close partnership with the Methodology team — our sustainability domain experts — the Engine squad is responsible for implementing this methodology into a scalable, usable and reliable product experience. This includes building and evolving the Engine that executes these tests and ensures they deliver consistent, high-quality insights to Meridia’s customers.

The Engine squad and broader Product team are distributed across Indonesia and Amsterdam, requiring strong collaboration across time zones and disciplines. This is a remote role based in Brasília, where a significant part of our Methodology team is located.

Meridia offers a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment. We’e looking for a seasoned product manager to join our team, someone who’s technically and data savvy, commercially minded, customer centric, humble and pragmatic.
